Starting tonight alongside Mbappe and Lacazette. Last time he played Germany, he made a beautiful assist. Let's see how he can pick it up after his lackluster showing off-the-bench against Wales.
France vs Germany it is. Think France will get dominated in midfield but they are dangerous on the counter.
Well, a beautiful dribble and lay off for Lacazette goal. That's two assists in two games vs Germany for Tony!
Playing himself back into the French World Cup squad
Playing better than Mbappe so far in the match, great composure on the assist.
Why is he not playing as second striker or trequartista for our club is beyond belief? Mourinho is all about mourinho, the Donald tRump in the football world.
The guy is world class in the making. Yet some on here still doubt it. We are extremely lucky to have him, let’s hope Jose is watching.
What is sad is that we may lose Martial and Periera this summer. Because we have a manager who don't know how to use talent. Pogba is another being played so far back especially at the beginning of the season.
A fear that is totally legitimate but again so many will shoot you down. Pogba, Periera and Martial should be 3 central players for us going forward, obviously Periera has to continue to develop. We’ll see if that’s ever going to be a reality in a Mourinho team.
I do kinda agree with what you’re saying and if Depay hadn’t crapped the bed Martial would probably have been central. However the guy certainly has a skill set where he could pretty much play anywhere across the front line. I do prefer him in a 2 but I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a front 3 on the left if he was coached by a manager that would allow that position to be more of an attacking threat.
Can't argue with that. Yes the kid can play basically anywhere up front. Maybe not the spearpoint as he may not have the super aggressive nature, that is where Rashford comes in. Would like to see a Rashford and Martial front two in a 352.
Twice the player in the final third. He and Rashford are the future
Does anybody know the technical name of this skill? Touching the ball from one foot to the other then pushing it forward like that. Martial is an absolute master at it.
Yeah, would be intresting if we had a proper midfield behind them and WB who will go forward and support.
Rashford I personally feel has so much he needs to improve on, he’s very Raw but no doubt there is something there and where he often just wants to run straight at the goal, Martial's tendency to want to drift and play between the lines you would think they’d work well together in the future. I want to see it in action.
The Martial turn.
La Croqueta, I think. Iniesta and Laudrup did it a lot.
"Another 1"
Class.
Have a day off pal. Just enjoy the assist. Martials said time and again he's happy this year. Just relax.
Could and should have had a goal there, terrible finish.
Think Mbappe wanted the pass back.
Watched the second half, Martial is lively. I really wish we had a option like Mbappe down the right, with him and Martial France are just so lethal on the counter. Wish Jose would do it with Rashford.
His situation here is fecking criminal.
Barcelona for him next summer I think. He's too good for our bench.
We might recoup enough to get Perisic

This. If Mourinho can't figure out how to use such a talent then I really don't know.
True. Think the commentator mentioned he's only started 3 times in the league this season, he should be playing every week. Potentially our best player.
Really good to see him doing well during a start. I'm not going to lie, I was genuinely thinking it was a bit of an issue because I couldn't think why else Mourinho is rotating his starts.
It’s not an issue it’s just Mourinho being irritating.
a bit disappointed he didnt score from that chance but his performance was great.
agree. hopefully Jose watched the game and will play both Martial and Rashford against Newcastle.
Should've scored, but was very good today. He has a lot of competition for that spot in the form of Dembele, Coman and others who can play wide forward like Mbappe, Griezmann and Fekir. Hope he goes to the World Cup, though with Deschamps in charge he'll probably end up picking that donkey Giroud or Payet over him.
Assuming Dembele is fit, you'd think for wide options they'd take Dembele, Martial, Mbappe and Coman.
Griezmann doesn't have the pace to kill like the others do, he's better in the middle. Likewise Fekir.
Yep. So did Zidane, also Prosinecki (spelling?), but if it had to be named after a player then Laudrup.
His close control is scary good
Surprised you haven't been banned because that was pornographic
Yeah. Here's the league stats of all attackers at the top 6. Iwobi has more minutes than Martial in the league this season (and more starts).
After this game, a lot of people in France think that he'll be in the squad for the WC.
My MOTM and he showed that he isn't a super sub but a starter !

Got a headache just looking at it. 30% of total minutes played in the league without any injuries. Aside from Pogba, he is our only player who can create out of nothing.
